“Representing Melrose Commons and providing a voice for the community’s betterment.”
Nos Quedamos was founded as a people-led housing movement that grew into ahistoric community development win known as the Melrose Urban Renewal Plan,created via the joint efforts of community residents, home owners, business leaders, and activists = NQ Delegates. It was the “people power” of NQ Delegates that led tosuch a bold and dramatic change in Melrose Commons, transforming the region into a vibrant and viable community that continues to thrive and evolve today. But there’s more crucial work to be done and new obstacles to overcome.
Today Nos Quedamos continues to work utilizing this same bottom up people-led approach. To this end, we are currently seeking community-minded stakeholders to serve as present day NQ Delegates to represent Melrose Commons in making history yet again. NQ Delegates will work alongside Nos Quedamos’ team and have their voices heard on a multitude of important issues and platforms, such as the Bronxwide People’s Platform, whose focus includes:
– Housing
– Energy
– Environment
– Civic Engagement
